The sickened luna’s last chance

Chapter 302

Ella’s POV

I froze and turned back to look at Alexander with a quirked brow. “You want me there?” I asked. Usually, Alexander was the one who took Lucien to his check–up appointments. I was just the nanny, so I didn’t need to be there.

“Of course.” Alexander stood and smoothed down his shirt, offering me a faint smile. “You’re the one who takes care of him every day. You deserve to hear the doctor’s assessment firsthand.”

I couldn’t help but smile at the offer. It was small, but it was a reminder that despite everything, I still got to be a part of my son’s life.

Even if neither of them would ever get to know that Lucien was my son. And even if Alexander was marrying another woman.

“I’d like that,” I said quietly. “Thank you for inviting me.”

Alexander nodded, and for a brief second, something softened in his expression. Then he gestured to the exit.“ We’ll have to be there by nine–thirty tomorrow morning, so make sure you’re ready on time.”

“I’ll be ready.”

The next morning, I woke up bright and early and dressed in one of my nicer outfits, not that it was anything special–just a simple sweater and a pair of trousers, a far cry from the extravagant and expensive outfits I used to wear as Luna. For some reason, I found myself even putting on a light layer of lipstick before heading out. After wearing nothing but my gray uniform for so long, it felt like a luxury.

I then dressed Lucien and prepared him for our journey to the doctor’s office, and found Alexander already waiting for me in the foyer. He looked up as I approached and gave me a look that almost seemed like surprise.

“Stella,” he said, straightening as I descended the staircase with Lucien bundled up in my arms; it was a chilly late autumn day, and I’d dressed him in a little sweater and matching hat to keep him warm. “You’re ready?”

I nodded, and Alexander’s gaze flicked over me briefly. For a moment, it almost seemed like he was going to say something else, but then he turned and opened the door for me.
